Rolf;

KDE runs in memory on the server, virtual
screens and all.  X runs on the terminal,
managing the display.

In the case of LTSP, the entire screen 
displays an XDMCP session running on the
server, KDE and all.

This is the default for LTSP, unless
you've done some *heavy* modification so
it operates like the Terminal server on
Knoppix.

In any event, virtual window managers don't
necessarily use a lot of memory.  The REAL
memory usage is by the processes running in
those virtual sessions.
